How to Make a 3D Cardboard Rabbit

Crafts are a great hands-on activity for kids.

Cardboard crafts are a great way to reduce waste and reuse items that might otherwise be discarded, such as old paper towel rolls. Moreover, it is likely that you have all of the supplies you need lying around the house already, making this an ideal project for those on a tight budget. These simple cardboard rabbits are kid-friendly to assemble and make lovely art projects for holidays such as Easter.

Things You'll Need

• Toilet paper or paper towel roll
• Cotton ball
• Miniature pom poms
• Black marker
• Paint
• Glue
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Cut a 1-1/2-inch section of toilet paper tube for the rabbit body and two half-inch sections for the rabbit ears.

2. Paint each section inside and out. Let sit to dry. Run a line of glue along the inside of the ear and glue it flat. Use a pair of scissors to trim the corners of the ears. Glue the two rabbit ears to the inside of the toilet paper tube body.

3. Paint the inside of each rabbit ear pink.

4. Glue on a miniature pom pom nose. Use a black marker to draw on two eyes and whiskers. Glue a cotton ball in the back for the tail.

Tips & Warnings

• Use felt to make a hair bow or bow tie to add to your cardboard rabbit.
